1/2 kg of puff pastry
1 Camembert or Brie cheese, about 9 cm in diameter - 220 g
1 egg lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon (ch) of water
Unroll the puff pastry until it's 0.5 cm thick
Cut out two circles: one 15 cm in diameter and one 17.5 cm
Wrap the smaller circle around a filling of your choice, then refrigerate for 30 minutes
Make a ball with the leftover dough and refrigerate as well
Roll out the leftovers to a thickness that's slightly firmer than before, but not frozen
Cut into flower or leaf shapes using a cookie cutter
Place the cheese and decorations in the freezer for 20 minutes (not longer)
Place the smaller circle on a parchment-lined baking sheet
Place the cheese in the center
Brush with water around the edges of the dough
Cover the cheese with the larger circle of dough, pressing gently to seal
Freeze for 10 minutes
Trim the excess dough from the edges, forming half-moon shapes
Prepare a paper tube by wrapping it twice around an pencil
Melt butter and coat the outside, then remove the pencil
Cut a small circle from the top of the dough and insert the tube
Brush the dough over the cheese with beaten egg to create a design
Coat the entire surface with the remaining egg
Bake in a hot oven (200°C) for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown
Let cool for 30-40 minutes before serving to prevent the cheese from oozing out when you cut the dough.
